Cholesterol API Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Growing Use of Liposomal Formulations in Drug Delivery Systems - When compared to conventional drug delivery systems, liposomes are considered to be promising and adaptable drug particles. Site-targeting, sustained or controlled release, protection of drugs from deterioration and clearance, enhanced therapeutic effects, and fewer toxic side effects are just a few of their great properties. Such properties lead the growing use of liposomal formulation in various drug delivery systems. For instance, approximately 15 different commercial liposomal product types have received FDA and EMA approval. A whopping 45% of the marketed products were approved before the year 2000, and 55% were approved before the year 2010.

Surge in Anticancer Therapies – Surge in cancer cases are leading towards the discovery of various anticancer therapies. Such therapies use the applications of drug delivery systems that utilize cholesterol APIs. For instance, in 2021, a staggering 32 oncology novel active substances (NASs) were introduced globally.

Escalating Clinical Trials of mRNA Vaccines - Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines contain mRNA, a single-stranded RNA molecule that accentuates DNA. It is developed in the nucleus when RNA polymerase transcribes DNA to generate pre-mRNA. Before to the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines for communicable diseases such as HIV-1 and rabies were already in clinical trials. For instance, it was observed in research, as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, in 291 vaccine trials, there are 18 vaccines in the clinical phase, and 24 in the preclinical phase among the RNA-based vaccines under consideration.

Worldwide Expansion of Pharmaceutical Industry - The increase in life expectancy for both men and women around the world is owing to the pharmaceutical industry. The industry is driving medical advancement by conducting research, enhancing, and bringing new medications that enhance patients' health and quality of life worldwide. For instance, by 2023, the pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to reach approximately USD 1 trillion across the globe.

Huge R&D Funding by Pharmaceutical Companies – For instance, the 16 biggest pharmaceutical companies spent around USD 134 billion on R&D in 2021, which denotes a 45% expansion from 2016.
